The academic year 2026/2027 has commenced in 26 schools for applied agricultural technology in Egypt, as part of a partnership between the Ministry of Education and Technical Education, the Future of Egypt for Sustainable Development, and the Italian "ITSAgro" academy. This initiative aims to develop a comprehensive model for agricultural technical education that combines academic qualification with practical training, according to international standards.
Students in these schools will follow an educational path that combines theoretical study with practical and field training, utilizing modern educational tools and techniques. This approach is designed to enhance their acquisition of knowledge and technical skills related to their specialties, and prepare them for the job market. The schools offer eight agricultural and technological specializations, including food manufacturing technology and animal production technology.
The schools are located in 14 governorates across Egypt, including Luxor, Ismailia, Fayoum, Giza, Qalyubia, Sharqia, Menoufia, Beni Suef, Beheira, Dakahlia, Aswan, Gharbiya, Alexandria, and Minya. This expansion reflects the implementation of a new educational model that aims to improve the quality of technical education in the country.
The launch of these schools is part of the Ministry of Education and Technical Education's strategy to develop technical education and expand the network of applied technology schools. The goal is to provide educational and training programs that are more closely aligned with the needs of the job market, and to prepare technical and technological cadres with the necessary skills and knowledge to work in various agricultural fields.
The schools offer a range of specializations that cater to the needs of the agricultural sector, including technology for plant production, animal and poultry production, and agricultural engineering. By providing students with practical skills and knowledge, the schools aim to meet the demands of the labor market and contribute to the development of the agricultural sector.
The partnership between the Egyptian government and the Italian academy reflects the country's efforts to benefit from international expertise in technical education. The collaboration aims to improve the quality of education and provide students with the skills and knowledge required to compete in the global job market.
The expansion of applied technology schools is expected to have a positive impact on the development of the agricultural sector in Egypt, by providing a skilled and qualified workforce. The government aims to continue developing technical education and expanding the network of applied technology schools to meet the needs of the labor market.
